"Avengers: Infinity War" has just made history. It is now only the fourth movie in history to ever pass the $2 billion mark at the worldwide box office. Box Office Mojo currently has the movie sitting at $2.002 billion worldwide, more than any other Marvel Cinematic Universe movie. The original top Marvel movie was "The Avengers," which finished with $1.518 billion worldwide. It also ranks second domestically behind only "Black Panther," which made $699.4 million in the U.S. while "Avengers: Infinity War" is currently sitting at $656 million.
The Avengers box office
"Avengers: Infinity War" crossed the $2 billion mark on Monday, June 11. The only other three Movies that ever passed that landmark at the box office was James Cameron's "Titanic" and "Avatar" and the 2015 release of "Star Wars: The Force Awakens." As of Monday, "Infinity War" was $66 million away from "The Force Awakens." At just over six weeks old, it has a chance to reach that level. "Force Awakens" was in theaters for a total of 24 weeks to reach its total.
The top two movies are untouchable. "Titanic" made $2.187 billion while "Avatar" made an astronomical $2.788 billion -- the only movie to make over $2 billion outside of the United States in history. In some trivia, this latest Avengers movie made more than "The Force Awakens" internationally already.
The Marvel Cinematic Universe
Overall, 34 movies have made over $1 billion worldwide and six of those movies are Marvel Cinematic Universe films. In order, those movies are "Avengers: Infinity War," "The Avengers," "Avengers: Age of Ultron," "Black Panther," "Iron Man 3" and "Captain America: Civil War."
Domestically, "Black Panther" led the way, followed by "Avengers: Infinity War" and "The Avengers" as the only Marvel movies to make over $500 million domestically.
Overall, "Infinity War" ranks number one domestically in the "Avengers" movies, second for MCU films, second overall for all Marvel movies, and first all-time in opening weekend box office for all movies. It also ranks second all-time for international opening weekends behind only "The Fate of the Furious."
Up next for the Marvel Cinematic Universe is "Ant-Man and the Wasp," which comes out on July 6. After that, there is nothing until March 2019 when "Captain Marvel" comes out and then the fourth Avengers movie on May 3, 2019, where Marvel promises that everything will change.
